Podcast: Unique Fatso

I have been mulling over this for a while, as I’ve been stuck in a mental rut regarding my health and part of me was afraid and embarrassed to share what has happened to me. However, I owe it to myself to share my story and continue to heal from the trauma that I’ve enduredContinue reading “Podcast: Unique Fatso”

Fat Fridays: How Long Does it Take to Lose Weight? – 04.03.2022

The Other evening, I conversed with a friend and confessed it took me years to lose weight. I’m losing weight in tiny increments; the bulk of my weight loss came last year, and even that was a struggle. For me, weight loss starts in my mind! Because when I feel bad, I eat badly. WhenContinue reading “Fat Fridays: How Long Does it Take to Lose Weight? – 04.03.2022”

The Pressure to Complete and Reach the End – 27.02.2022

The Pressure to Complete and Reach the End  – 27.02.2022 I’ve been dithering for a few weeks now. I avoided completing a piece of work that was overdue by months.

Mindfulness: Thank You – 08.02.2022

Thank You Two words that many of us forget to use, especially when circumstances permit. It’s like you think it and fail to say it. Hearing these words make people feel appreciated in a world of chaos. Valued in a life of judgement and loved in a society that forgets they exist. Please remember toContinue reading “Mindfulness: Thank You – 08.02.2022”

Welcome February 01.02.2022

Fat Fridays: But It’s Too Cold Outside – 07.01.2022

All week I’ve opted to use public transport to travel to work. Because I feel the icy wind on my face, I talk myself out of walking. While writing this post, I recognise it is a silly excuse. The festive period, blended with this ongoing pandemic, led me to spend most of my time indoors.Continue reading “Fat Fridays: But It’s Too Cold Outside – 07.01.2022”

Fat Fridays: What Fatso Heard? – 24.12.2021

What Fatso Heard? I’m not a ‘fan’ or a ‘traditional follower’ of Christmas! However, it is important to help those who are less fortunate than yourself. This help does not have to be financial; handing them cash into their hands. It could be signposting them to professional/charitable organisations or vice Versa. My point is thatContinue reading “Fat Fridays: What Fatso Heard? – 24.12.2021”
